I was due my inspection at the beginning of October and I have not heard anything yet who else is waiting? I hate this waiting my inspections have nearly always been more or less on time and I have had a fair few over the years but the waiting really does my head in:eek: :eek:

mine was due at the end of july:eek:

I know a couple of people who were due June/July time.

mine was due in june/july, havent heard anything yet, but now i am writing this they will prob ring me, fingers crosed they dont till after xmas,

My inspection was due in October and I really want it to happen soon. I am up to my eyes with other stuff-mostly university work -and would love to get the inspection out of the way. I am prepared as much as I can be..........:panic:

mine was June and they have called to see if I had children in Early years

Mine id due in January and I got a phoneall just before half term, she wanted to come out in half term but was only working 1 day with a 9yr old, she said she will phone me after half term so I am waiting.

I think mine maybe early because I had some malicious complaints made against me earier this year. I am still waiting for letters for 2 of the complaints to say nothing was found and I need to put them in my complaints folder.
I have phone Ofsted and emailed them and still no response. The complaints were made in February and we are now in November:angry:

I was due at the beginning of June...! xx

Mine was due in March but my father died and Ofsted cancelled the inspection (they were going to come the week he died)
They still haven't been back to me but my father-in-law has now died too so hope they don't ring for at least a couple of weeks :(

Ive been waiting since sept.. had one date but they rang to cancel on the day... want it over and do with now.

I'm still waiting for my first one :(

Just had mine. I live in the South West of the country. I was 15 months over due, it was 4 years and four months between visits. Another close friend is also 13 months over her so it is 4 years and two months for her.

good luck to all of you, just had mine phew

I'm in the South West too and my inspection was due in August !!:eek: :panic:

Mine was due in May 2010. Got a call in June to check I had children but have heard nothing since - its driving me mad!:eek:

It's been 3 years 3 months since my last one so I'm expecting a call any day, I've been saying that for the last 6 months though :laughing: At my last inspection she said it'll be 2 years til next one! In 12 years of minding this is the longest I've ever waited. All my friends have been done well within 3 years and we all had good grades, so I don't know why Im still waiting. It's not like they've forgotten me, I ring practically every other week for emergency variations :blush:

:)

waiting since may4th - and have been told not to expect one before xmas! havnt got my new cert either now dd is 5 and at school - that was oct 14th :mad:

There is a group of us waiting one from April and several through July August

Mine was due in September. I was all prepared then, sort out ran away with me again now and would not be completely prepared. I live in the South West. I also could do with getting it ouf of the way.

I am due in december. I am in Lincoln so does this mean I can expect it to be late?? I hope not because it is so stressful waiting for the call!:(

I'm in the South West too and my inspection was due in August !!:eek: :panic:

There are quite a few in my local area who are overdue..looking at their inspection reports :rolleyes: Wonder why the SW is lagging behind? :rolleyes:

I'm due anytime!

:panic:

Judging from the replies its looks like we are all in for a long wait:( :( I know we cannot be told exactly when our inspection is going to be but I think if Ofsted are running very behind a general letter could be sent out to let us know (wishful thinking I know) that our inspections are going to be delayed.

I also have noticed that newly registered childminders appear to be getting their first graded inspection more or less on time and us longer registered minders appear to be left waiting. Whilst I know it is important to get newly registered minders graded I also think it is not fair to keep us waiting.

This is definitely the side of minding that I really do not enjoy I have struggled so much over the last three years to stay a childminder, it is only the parents of the minded children that have given me the confidence and encouragement to carry on and I would just like my inspection over and done with and to find out if I am following the eyfs properly.

Sorry moan over

Denise

I have heard that they are running quite late. But I had mine in July...1 month early!!! Depends on the area you are in

mine will be over and done with next week - hopefully Monday then I can relax and go out!
